The colourful folliage

Very often the foliage plants are ignored as many look for blooming plants!

However some foliage plants are really colourful and beautiful too. Dracaena is one of those which have beautiful foliage. The leaves are striking in green and red.



Croton in striking red , yellow and green!





Spider plants are beautiful too in green and white! At the moment I have many sucker plants. All are welcome in the garden. They add colour to the garden!


Some of foliage plants can be used to filter the air too.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

what kind of beautiful foliage you have planted in your garden?

The Dracaena cuttings


Dracaena bicolour has beautiful leaves. No wonder it's called a rainbow plant! It's leaves look sharp but in actual they are very fragile!




I accidentally placed the pot at the shaded area while waiting for the stem to grow roots. The stem bend ahead to find sunshine!


 Originally I bought 1 plant from the nursery. Now I have 3 additional plant from successful stem cuttings!


This plant so far has no pest attack! It's a bonus for gardener with limited time to spent in garden!



I have propagated them successfully with stem cutting! They seems to be very easy to grow from stem cutting!

It's air filtering plant too!
